MARSHALL, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will be resuming on Monday, March 25, its three-year, $160 million project to repave I-94 between Helmer Road and 17 1/2 Mile Road in Calhoun County, rebuild nine bridges, and repair eight others.
This year, crews will be repaving I-94 between Helmer Road and 6 1/2 Mile Road, and from I-69 to 17 1/2 Mile Road. Workers will be rebuilding the eastbound I-94 bridges over 6 1/2 Mile Road, M-294 (Beadle Lake Road), 9 Mile Road, and the Kalamazoo River, as well as completing bridge paint work at F Drive North, I-194, and Old US-27.
There will be lane closures and traffic shifts on I-94 during the work, which is expected to be completed in mid-November. For most of the year, there will be two lanes of I-94 open in each direction with the exception of short-duration single-lane closures for traffic shifts.
In 2023, crews completed rebuilding the Capital Avenue bridge over I-94, and the westbound bridges over 6 1/2 Mile Road, M-294, 9 Mile Road, and the Kalamazoo River.
Work in 2025 will be limited to repaving at the Battle Creek Rest Area on eastbound I-94.
Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 2,032 jobs.
Funding for this project is made possible by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's Rebuilding Michigan program to rebuild the state highways and bridges that are critical to the state's economy and carry the most traffic. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improves the condition of the state's infrastructure.
